anamchara1317 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hi. My name is Erin and I started my second Whole30 yesterday (4-1-19). My fiancé and I did one together 4 years ago this month. He is supporting me this time with an alcohol fast and by making me breakfast (while I make compliant dinners for us). I've said many times in the past year that I was going to do another Whole30 but this is my first time getting back to it. I am also logging my food this time, which I did not do before, so I hope that makes a difference. My primary goal is to stop craving my big 3: wine, bread and sugar. I'm glad to have this community and I'm happy to communicate with anyone who needs/wants to share or talk. We can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Guy Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hi! My name is Jessie. I’m a first timer with the whole30 and this forum thing, but I thought I would start by reaching out to someone who started the whole30 on April 1st like I have. Hope your start is going well. My biggest food weakness is bread and sugar so I’m sure I’ll eventually have cravings for that stuff, but surprising so far so good. I woke up with a headache, but I’m glad to have read that that is normal. We’re on day 3! My other weakness is that I grew up being a picky eater. Back when I was younger I basically lived off of chicken fingers and french fries, Mac and cheese, and bread. Only a few years ago I just started trying a bunch of new foods. So I’m not a fan of avocados- it’s the texture that doesn’t sit right with me. I should probably try them again but I’m so nervous to! I know they’re super nutritious and I would like to somehow get avocados into my daily meals- thoughts???! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakergirl Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I warm 2 sliced hard boiled eggs and add 1/2 an avocado. Stir and mash a bit and you have an egg salad type meal. That’s my meal 1 most days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamchara1317 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 I love avocados but I can imagine the texture can be an issue for some. I also love spicy foods, so adding compliant hot sauce (like Cholula) and sea salt makes the avocados and eggs even better. My other main problem is that I don't like to cook. I did buy the Whole30 Fast and Easy Cookbook for this round. And I also have an instant pot now so I'm hoping to use those in conjunction more this month.

Alllison Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hi. I started Whole30 on April 1. It has not been too much of an adjustment as I had already this year eliminated dairy and wheat from my diet due to severe GI issues. My only "problems" right now are nightmares nearly nightly (which I understand is related to serotonin levels?) and boredom with the food options.

anamchara1317 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yikes. I have had a couple of nightmares, but I didn't think it was directly related - since the dreams I had when I did it last time were food craving related. Hm, interesting. And yes, I too am bored because I really don't LOVE meat and I love some veggies, but they're just not satisfying yet. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
